Recent reviews of Japanese Cooking Class: Bento with Chef Keita
- 5/5 from Pippa Crane, attended Nov 2025: What an excellent class - Japanese Bento Box. I learnt how to make some of my favourite dishes (agadashi tofu, karage chicken, pickled daikon radish) and gained an understanding of the uses of dashi, mirin, cooking sake, Japanese soya sauce and Mizkan vinegar. Highly recommend!
- 5/5 from Fiona Boyle, attended Nov 2025: The three hour class with Keita was very worthwhile. It made Japanese cooking much easier. We did the prepping first, then the cooking, then feasting. We learnt a lot!
- 5/5 from Frances Slattery, attended Nov 2025: Keita ran a very relaxed informative class today.Learnt lots about Japanese cuisine and will definitely be cooking a lot more Japanese meals as a result!!
